Still Hummin' Along: Dan and Marilyn Michalek of Glen...

October 17, 1993|By Candace Purdom.

Still Hummin' Along: Dan and Marilyn Michalek of Glen Ellyn must be doing something right. When they married 42 years ago, they knew it was for keeps. Now four grown children and two grandchildren later, they're still depending on that important decision they shared back in 1951.

That was when the young couple selected a standard white Hotpoint refrigerator with a top freezer compartment. Since then, the refrigerator has moved with the Michaleks to four different homes.

"It still works just fine, and looks the same," Dan Michalek said. "I figure with our children growing up, the door was opened and closed a million and a half times."
